[1] "This is so true... why is it like that"

[2] "You're right now that I think about it, they really do send more of the actors than the idols"

[3] "Never mind that, I'd be happy if he just debuted them"

[4] "Please let them go on variety shows... of course variety shows don't seem quite like variety shows if Big Bang's on it ㅋㅋ"

[5] "Didn't know Lee Sung Kyung was under YG... she's my favourite model"

[6] "It's honestly a mystery........ please let us see our babies"

[7] "Please.... Winner is a rookie group! Let them go on variety shows"

[8] "iKON's going to debut soon too.  I bet they won't let them go on varieties that much either"

[9] "It's one of the basic promotion tactics that most groups get and they don't even give us that"

[10] "I knew it would be YG Entertainment ㅋㅋ You could probably count the number of variety shows 2NE1 has been on in one hand... Running Man, Strong Heart, Family Outing, 2NE1 TV, and a few others... and WINNER... all they got was Winner TV and Weekly Idol"

[11] "Life of being a YG fan ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Even actors get to go on variety shows more than the idols"

10 and 11 speaks of the truth. Atleast BIGBANG had a few variety show during debut and the reason BB was on F.O. was because Daesung is there. But post that era if its not running man, its GD on infinity challenge. They are not even regular on Running man. LOL

winner wants to be on variety shows...
variety shows wants winner...
fans needs it...

Apple said...

Well here's an interview with Peter Chun, YG's US publicity and marketing manager. He kinda explained why YG artists don't come out that much.

Andre Tan said...

True. Why YG?.

THIS IS SO TRUE and the song promotions! My god! How many promotions did they do in music shows last year??? 4???? 5???

baka-ssi said...

idk why winner isnt going on any shows... smh i really do hope they can promote more TT^TT

tbvh said...

And that's a dumb elitist attitude that YG needs to lose tbh.......especially when you have artists who are thirsty to do more....

piqa said...

I'm loving both cha seungwon and choi jiwoo in 3 meals a day. Everyone should watch 3 meals a day - fishing village and be impressed by seungwon's cooking ability. It's not fair how a guy with hot body can cook better than me.

passenger said...

Why could "cmt10" compare between 2NE1 and Winner???

a group debuted for 6 years and a rookie 1 year????

with groups will be debuted , i bet Yg won't let them go on varieties that much

With YG, it's just normal

Kpopismylife2010 said...

Did you not read that paragraph? It's not YG having an elitist attitude...The reasons are clearly stated....

Sidney said...

I honestly don't really mind with 2ne1 and Big Bang not being on variety. I'd rather have them focus on singing and then when they have a break on solo promotions. Plus 2ne1 has said numerous times that they're still not comfortable going on these variety shows. If they do go on variety shows, I prefer guestings where all of them go at the same time like on RM. I feel like they're more comfortable that way. Also as much as I want 2ne1tv, it hasn't been the same compared to the first season.


On the other hand, winner NEEDS to go on variety shows. They're actually awesome in it. Plus they're still rookies. I wish Yg would have pushed them more towards variety instead of doing concerts right away.

Apple said...

I wouldn't say "elitlist" coz for me this kind of action is what gave us high quality albums the whole time. Did you mean Winner? I think YG will definitely let Winner branch out after they solidify their position in the music industry first. On Bigbang's case, when BB debuted YG was not in the top so he needed to build recognition for BB, for example placing them in various variety shows. But now since YG is one of the biggest ent companies in Korea he might felt that music should come first before everything else.

nhoki said...

I looked everywhere for Choi Ji woo episode with english sub. Do you speak korean or did you manage to find it subbed?

Apple said...

From what I've seen they kinda do that (partying and going out) with foreign artists, like Diplo, Skrillex and Sky. But they don't really mingle with Korean artists... Idk like maybe in 2NE1 case they seem really shy... in some variety shows they seem so silent when we know what they can do in 2NE1 TV. But from what I've heard YG had asked his artists if they want to act (like to GD, well except to Dara xD) but GD himself didn't want to. Now that Dara is filming a web drama I can't be happier ;)

rinaaa:) said...

I get the feeling that maybe BB and 2NE1 just DONT want to be on variety shows. Let's be honest, most variety shows that are popular are ones the require idols to be funny and use physical strength. I'm not saying BB and 2NE1 aren't funny and aren't strong, I just see that they enjoy performing their music and talking about the creative process of their work instead of doing crazy activities with other idols or gagmen (which is why they are seen mostly on talk shows). I mean we get to see them sometimes (ex. Running Man, Family Outing, etc.) so let's just enjoy those rare moments~

orangejuice said...

it's not a comparison tho. read again!

macy_12 said...

elitists? or they just are really passionate about music & only want people who care for music? To create a space to inspire & motivate young artist is elitist?
get out w/that crap, YG's is place where musicians go and make music or do something they love, music, not a place where it's a stepping stone for one to become famous...
YG's not an elitist, people accusing are elitist because they want YG to follow their "best" and most "comfortable" way. and apparently what YG's doing is all wrong & them braving to be different is a crime.... stop the dumb elitist attitude. YG has their own methods & it's working greatly in their favor & they don't need to bend to the "best"/common method.

Riyadh Prawiryo Att said...

I think Minzy will doing well in RM and maybe dara just be MC in music show, and for bom she really can do it well in variety.

princess ariel said...

I miss winner!!!!! LET THEM B ON SHOWS :(((( my bbys

piqa said...

nope but my cable tv aired it with sub. I heard they didn't sub it because there is no taecyeon, bummer :(

withwink_ said...

Before winner debuted, I've read somewhere that yg will send them more to variety but at the end........only weekly idol.
And I still remembers during 2013, when 2ne1 promoted, he said the artists will start promote on kbs........ lol

Riririr said...

But does all idols must be producers too? Some idols want to be a variety-dol too. Rather than keep saying his raps are better than other people's raps.

sheen said...

every 2NE1TV season is best i dont get why you telling otherwise.

Apple said...

He didn't imply anything on "YG artists must self produce".. He just said that YG artists are pushed to focus on music more than anything else. I think YG trainees already know about things in YG since or even before they entered YG. They know that YG is not the type to send his artists to variety shows that often. So if the trainees wanted to be variety idols more than being singers then I must say they should consider going to other companies instead of staying in YG. And what did you mean by saying his raps are better than other people's? I don't understand..

Hajiwonlover said...

I really hope he'll let ikon do variety shows

these kids are truly hilarious it would be waste not let them go

Hipployta said...

Considering how most groups aren't producing their own albums in house and how people get ran ragged on variety shows I don't really consider it an issue that YG acts don't go. Plus they did Strong Heart and Running Man a few times

crayxxiluv said...

this made me laugh coz it's soo true! At first, I wondered why too because it is actually good for the idols' image (getting known more by the public) but now I kinda prefer them, especially the seniors, not attend much variety shows .. they also need their 'down time' from the public after months of touring/doing work til dawn .. we don't want to have young burnt-out artists right?
Besides,they don't disappoint when it comes to their music .. I guess YG stans like me should get used to being 'deprived' from their public appearances and just revisit other fancams/pics as cure ... kekeke

R.Thompson said...

This is one of the reasons why YG is YG. The artist music quaily sells the group, not some variety show where they have to sell fake stories to get people to like them. Which is how's I many idols get popular

Kidari said...

what tv channel is that? mnet?

Nova_REMIX said...

I mean even if they go on shows like these, they get the same drug comments so what's the point?

sticksandbones said...

I think Dara was the one who wanted the most the 3rd season and that's why she was everywhere (not that I'm complaining, she's a cutie pie) :)

Jess said...

Just want to say that yes, the older acts to have some say on whether
they want to go or not, but it's ultimately up to YG to approve it.
Minzy, Bom and Dara have expressed a desire to try more variety so I do
not believe that they don't want to do it at all. Winner have expressed a
desire. I'm sure AKMU would like to do some. YG should at least strive
to have a balance between, music promotions and variety. His artists are
really missing out on other opportunities being totally secluded from
that part or entertainment.

Jess said...

Going on MBC Infinite Challenge is what helped GD's image ALOT.

Nova_REMIX said...

Really? Did it? I can't tell what with people still shitting on him. 😒

Allabyong said...

Isnt Nam Joohyuk from YG too?? I love him and kangnam on off to school.. this duo is hilarious..

Mjnia said...

The title should be "YG actors go on variety while YG Idols Never do"

piqa said...

yep. channel M

Apple said...

I can really see Junhoe being the talk among other celebs coz of his sassyness in variety shows lol. I just hope he won't get shy and stay silent

Tru3star said...

I think he will though :( He seems like he sasses the members to death but would be quiet during variety shows. I hope not though

psychopathetic said...

Not dumb and elitists, it's what creatives do. You're an artist, okay mediaplaying is important and and all but, as a creative you got to walk the talk lol. Attending variety shows are pointless for your musical growth while everyone hoo hoo haha at scripted shit.

Adelia said...

they said....."as long june didn't open his sassy mouth he will be handsome cool boy", lol

Adelia said...

im fine with yg artist didn't do variety that much, but when they do im always enjoy them. as long as i can listen their music is okay for me.

clumsy said...

Well yg's mind would probably be:
You can see our ACTORS on TV where they should be and
Idols on stage, talking about concerts and some music shows where again they SHOULD be people

haiosh said...

Even though I want all of YG artists to go to more variety shows but Winner is still a rookie group they don't have a big fandom like 2ne1 and BigBang! YG should wake up, look at other rookie groups who gains more fans with their appearance in variety shows! I'm honestly jealous from other rookie groups fandoms, why only Winner TV and Weekly idol T_T Please YG let them go to more variety shows also 2NE1 and BigBang, Dara said once that she wants that, and Bom is really funny, Daesung and Riri too so pleeeease!

nhoki said...

ahhh shoot. Thanks anyway!

jules said...

or at least send half of 2ne1... the park sisters. they can be goofy and they have their humor.
